Want to recapture that feeling of staying at the Ritz Carlton Hotel every night? Start off with purchasing the pillows they use in their rooms. has the pillows from all the major hotel chains available for purchase from their website at great prices. The Ritz Carlton pillow is actually the Pacific Coast Double Down Surround Pillow. box as seen below: After sleeping on the Ritz Carlton pillow a few times I found it to be one of the more supportive hotel pillows. It’s very versatile for all sleeping types which is to be expected with a hotel pillow that needs to accommodate a variety of guests. I could see myself using this as my nightly pillow and that’s saying something after having reviewed many specialty pillows before this one. If anything, it will make an outstanding pillow for a guest bedroom or a spare pillow for a guest that crashes the night on your couch. The last down pillow I reviewed was the Parachute down pillow with a 750 fill power. What I noticed about the Parachute pillow was that although it was also an excellent pillow and super light, it slept hotter than this one.
I reviewed the “super standard” pillow which is bigger than the standard which is 20 x 26 inches. The extra 2 inches really helps fill out a standard pillow case. It comes with a plastic case as seen below that you can store it in when not in use. What I also like about this pillow is that it is washable. Not all pillows are washable and should be taken into consideration before making your purchase. It’s also important to note that this is not a 100% down pillow but no pillow is 100% down. The outer chamber is the part that contains all the down and is what gives the pillow a soft feel while the inner chamber with the feathers is used as a support layer. Most pillows only have 1 chamber so you lose the benefit of a soft but firm feeling. Lastly, it has a double needle sewn edge which will keep the pillow from busting in a pillow fight. The “Down Proof Weave” is also a great feature that keeps the down in the pillow and prevents it from leaking out.
The Pacific Coast Double Down Surround Pillow aka the Ritz Carlton Pillow is a very versatile pillow that should please most sleepers. It won’t sleep hot and provides great support without being too firm or overstuffed. If anything you should have one of these on hand for overnight guests.

It’s also about a good night’s sleep. Prodded by Westin’s success with its Heavenly Bed, virtually every major chain from budget to upscale is introducing new mattresses, linens and even sleep gadgets intended to provide a restful night’s sleep — and win travelers’ loyalty. The rush to produce all these new high-thread-count sheets and duvet covers has unleashed a battle of the beds: Radisson is introducing Sleep Number beds. Hyatt is going with a new pillow-top mattress. Marriott has ordered $190 million worth of upgraded beds and linens.
Hilton has designed what it calls the world’s easiest-to-set alarm clock. And Crowne Plaza has hired a sleep doctor for advice on relaxation and tossed in a sleep kit for guests: eye mask, earplugs, night light, a drape clip, lavender aromatherapy spray and a sleep CD. Even budget chains (Red Roof Inns) and moderate hotels (Best Western) are jumping into the fray, with such amenities as hypoallergenic pillows at the former and triple sheeting at the latter. All of this can be traced to the introduction of the Heavenly Bed — Westin’s pillow-top Simmons mattress with 900 individual coils that is soft and firm without being too much of either. Rolled out five years ago by Westin, a Starwood Hotels property, the bed’s popularity with guests made other hotels notice. Now, rather than pine for home, many guests are settling in for a restful night — and then asking how they can buy the beds for themselves. “Being first into the market is a huge advantage,” said Sue Brush, Westin’s senior vice president.
“We feel good that, although people are trying to duplicate what we’ve done, nobody has reached the level that we’re at after five years.” Westin’s 2004 internal survey showed that guests ranked comfort of beds a 9.19 on a scale of 10, up from 8.96 in 1999. And in a survey of 64 hotel brands, J.D. Power and Associates, which measures customer satisfaction, ranked Westin and Sheraton in its top 10 in comfort of bed. New beds and bedding, said Linda Hirneise, a partner at J.D. Power, represent “a very strong competitive edge” for Westin and Sheraton. “Now, they’re all playing catchup.” Consumers are footing the bill for the beds, but so far no one is complaining. Brush said that guests in Westin’s survey indicated they’re willing to pay $9-$11 more for a good night’s sleep. At Radisson, focus groups indicated they would pay $10 a night more for better beds. “When people go to budget hotels, they tell us that the hotels are cheap, they’re a lousy value, and they leave a lot to be desired,” said Tod Marks, a senior editor at Consumer Reports who tracks hotel satisfaction.
“But they go for one reason – because they’re cheap. “As you move to more upscale properties, people have higher expectations. And there’s no higher level of service than the comfort of bedding.” So why didn’t hotel owners provide better beds sooner, especially if they could have charged more? Probably because guests didn’t demand them. “Ten years ago, bedding was a small segment of the market,” said Leo Vogel, director of sales and marketing for Sealy’s contract division, which supplies upscale properties like the Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton with its beds. “Now, luxury bedding has become a huge issue at the retail level. People are spending more money on mattresses. It’s part of our lifestyle.” The upgrade trend means that many hotels have finally trashed those unsightly floral bedspreads, which hid stains and were cleaned infrequently. In their place are thick comforters with white duvet covers that are cleaned after each guest checks out.
“People are wise to the fact that a polyester floral-patterned bedspread doesn’t get washed very often,” said Kevin Kowalski, vice president of brand management at Crowne Plaza. “If you use white, you can’t hide stains and filth.” Beds and linens have gone over so well that many guests ask about purchasing them at checkout. Westin has sold almost 4,000 of its Simmons beds (at a cost of $1,300 for a king mattress and box spring) and 30,000 sheet-and-pillow sets on its website. It expects sales to top $8 million this year. Crowne Plaza now sells its Serta beds on its website, and Marriott and Hilton plan to sell their linen packages online this summer. Upscale properties such as the Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton have been selling their beds and bedding for years, and Fairmont guests can make bed purchases from their rooms at some locales. Hotels also are trying to one-up each other by offering tempting extras. Crowne Plaza has quiet zones in its hotels – separate floors with no housekeeping services before 10 a.m. and no kids.
